Stonebwoy, the celebrated Ghanaian dancehall artist, recently showed his firm support for the upcoming HoodTalk Music Festival. This followed a visit he made to philanthropist Kofi Amoakohene at his home in Accra last Tuesday. During their meeting, which underscored the increasing collaboration between Ghana’s music and charitable sectors, Stonebwoy presented his latest album, Torcher Experience. This was a gesture of thanks for Mr. Amoakohene’s ongoing support of the music industry. He also praised Mr. Amoakohene for his dedication to growing Ghana’s creative arts and making them more visible worldwide by improving production and presentation quality.
The ‘Le Gba Gbe’ hitmaker confirmed he is ready to support initiatives led by Mr. Amoakohene. He promised to continue working together on projects that benefit both music and society. In reply, Mr. Amoakohene thanked Stonebwoy for his gesture and recognized his role in raising the profile of Ghanaian music internationally. He emphasized the value of partnerships that go beyond just entertainment.
Mr. Amoakohene, a co-founder of the DreamChild Foundation, announced that the foundation will back the HoodTalk Music Festival. This event is planned for September 5 at the Black Star Square. The festival, titled “Vibe with a Purpose,” aims to raise awareness and money to build children’s clinics in five regions across Ghana. This will help improve access to child healthcare. He asked leading artists and industry figures to support the initiative, highlighting how entertainment can drive social change. Stonebwoy also committed to participating and urged other musicians to join the effort. He pointed out the importance of prioritizing children’s health and wellbeing.
The HoodTalk Music Festival brings together music, youth empowerment, and social development, showing how creative arts contribute to national progress.
